Use 'g++' to compile c++ programs, not 'gcc'. Although they both are ver
similar drivers that invoke the sub-parts of the toolchain (compiler,
assembler, linkers), and in fact either one can recognize the extension of a
file and pass it to the right language version of the compiler, the g++ driver
also knows to add the appropriate -L and -l options for linking against the
standard C++ libraries automatically.

Re: strange select() and recvfrom() behaviour
On Oct 24 19:31, Marcell Missura wrote: Hi, actually you were right, I was a bit too quick with my extract. It didn't contain an important line. I'm also sending out stuff through that socket. So here it goes, you can copy paste and compile this. Maybe you were also a little quick with your code. You don't really test what's going on, so your code is going crazy. What happens is that you call send() all the time if there's nothing to read. When nothing has been read so far, you call send() with a random value for the peer address, which results in some arbitrary errno (which you never test), in my case EAFNOSUPPORT. After you called recvfrom() for the first time, you call send() subsequently with the last peer address you got from recvfrom(). This works fine as long as the peer doesn't close the connection. After the peer closed the connection, send() returns with 0 (EOF, which you never test). However, the next select *has* something on the socket, which is an error message. recvfrom() returns with -1 and errno (which you never test) set to ECONNRESET. The next time select is called, it does *not* return with -1, but with 0, a simple timeout. So send() is called with the same old peer address again. It returns 0 (EOF, which you never test), thus resulting in select again having something to say on the socket. Again you get an errno of ECONNRESET (which you never test) from recvfrom(), and the game goes on ad infinitum. The fact that select() returns with a readable socket and the recvfrom function returning ECONNRESET is covered by SUSv3(*), even though this does not happen on Linux: [ECONNRESET] A connection was forcibly closed by a peer. MSDN(**) has the following to say in the ECONNRESET case: WSAECONNRESET The virtual circuit was reset by the remote side executing a hard or abortive close. The application should close the socket; it is no longer usable. On a UDP-datagram socket this error indicates a previous send operation resulted in an ICMP Port Unreachable message. There is a way to disable this behaviour(***), at least on W2K, but the better approach would be to fix your code, IMHO.

RE: ls much slower on Vista
Thanks for the pointer - it turns out Symantec AntiVirus is the culprit. If I disable File System Auto-Protect then time /bin/ls -l /usr/bin goes down from 2 seconds to about 0.3s, which is now perfectly usable. Oddly, I also have Symantec AntiVirus on my WinXP machine where performance is far better. However, this is an older version of the AntiVirus software which refuses to upgrade via LiveUpdate, so I'm not sure if the massive AntiVirus slowdown is due to the later version or the fact that it's running on Vista. Interestingly, though, time cmd /c dir on Vista is much less affected by the AntiVirus software - when enabled the time is 0.18s, and when disabled 0.10s. So I guess cygwin ls -l is doing many more file system operations than dir.

Re: strange select() and recvfrom() behaviour
Maybe you were also a little quick with your code. You don't really test what's going on, so your code is going crazy. It demonstrates the difference in the behaviour of this select(), recvfrom(), send() construct under linux and windows fairly well doesn't it. I apologize if my unsophisticated skills are causing you extra trouble and work, but I hope you don't mind me pointing at this issue and wonder where it's coming from. recvfrom() returns with -1 and errno (which you never test) set to ECONNRESET. Just to add my humble two cents, I find the behaviour on linux more intuitive, because there is no connection when you use UDP so I don't see what connection could have been reset. I also find it weird that after an error occured select() returns and tells you that the socket has something to _read_. After reading the documentation I thought this is what the error fd_set was there for.

Unable to access file from shell script (XP configure problem?)
Hello -- I am trying to get Cygwin running under Windows XP and am running into a problem with file access.

Specifically, shell scripts don't appear to be able to read files based on filenames passed in as commandline parameters. I've narrowed this down to a minimal shell script that reproduces the problem, which I've named buggy.sh as shown in this trace: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/c/Downloads $ pwd /cygdrive/c/Downloads [EMAIL PROTECTED] /cygdrive/c/Downloads $ cat buggy.sh #!/bin/sh echo Hello $@ cat $@ echo Bye!

CR at the end. That's the definitive symptom. Any suggestions on where to hunt further for a resolution? Where did the CR actually come from? It came from here: $ cat buggy.sh #!/bin/sh echo Hello $@ cat $@ ^ If you've got CRLF lineendings in that script, that line actually looks bash (which, being unixy, only expects LF line endings) like this: cat $@^Mend-of-line so once $@ is substituted (and quote removal applied), you have: cat /cygdrive/c/Downloads/ramon.txt^M The solution is to run d2u on buggy.sh, or don't use notepad/wordpad to create it, use vi/emacs/any other editor that can generate LF-only line endings.

So, in my case at least it doesn't seem to be security; just a reinstall from scratch type of thing. I had noticed that for the past few weeks, it had been taking longer to bring up a cygwin bash window than before; otherwise it appeared to be fine. Now, the bash shell comes up instantly as it had prior to a few weeks ago (so, this oddity is now gone too). What I had done during those weeks was, gradually install a few packages that I hadn't previously (ssh, ccrypt, probably a few others I can't remember). The twist was, I do this (download and install) on two machines. The cygwin install directory is on a portable hard drive; as I download new packages to it on a couple different machines, I install them on both machines as I reconnect the drive to them. Oh, also, this installation folder is Really Old; probably at least 3 years old (and I've upgraded it to new cygwin versions at least twice).

Unable to run sshd as service in vista home basic
Hello, I have been unable to start sshd as a service with a Vista Home Basic installation. It works fine for my Vista Premium install, and several XP Pro installations. Have you heard of any Vista Home Basic issues? I have installed cygwin as an administrator and use the supplied ssh-host-config script. I receive several different errors, 1062 and 1069 being most common. I have tried with and without privilege separation. Running sshd -d - d -d -D indicates that /var/empty must be owned by root and not group or world-writable - as far as I can tell, ssh-host-config should have set those permissions correctly. Changing them myself with chmod or through Vista does not seem to fix the problem, although it is entirely possible that I have the wrong permissions set. Thanks for any help, Bing -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Sounds like the user that's running the service is not authorized for your machine. How did you configure it? There is no 'root' in Windows. The user you're looking for is either 'SYSTEM' or, if you configured ssh-host-config this way, 'sshd_server'. You may find comparing your installation and configuration of your Vista Premium and/or XP installations to your Vista Home Basic helpful.
